Cozy and close to nature

Anna and Steve really thought about everything, the place is absolutly beautiful with a stunning view over the mountains and the sea. Close to nature and cozy in once. The hut - made with love, details, very comfortable bed, sweet welcome, warm light, you can see the stars at night, very good isolation. The „bathroom“ - it was very interesting to use the compost toilet, its super easy, like using a „normal“ toilet but better for the environment. As someone who likes it warm I was absolutely fine using the outdoorshower. I liked it alot. The sun room- absolutely beautiful, with everything you need to cook and relax. We didnt use the outdoors but the fireplace has a nice view and comfy chairs.

We enjoyed it all.

Stunningly gorgeous eco getaway

The location was private and stunningly beautiful. The facilities were, as advertised, a little rustic but everything worked a treat.

I didn't want to leave!

Exceptional

Lovely place to get away from it all. Set up an isolated road, with lovely hosts who were very accommodating. The Shepherds Hut itself is really comfortable and the silence and peacefulness is good for the soul. Certainly, this one. The chickens are hilarious and if there’s a chance you have food scraps, the will be your best friends for the duration.

Nothing really. Don’t expect to have a hot shower every day. It’s not happening.

One of the loveliest and most relaxing stays we have had on our year long world round trip! The hut is so cozy and you feel absolutely at peace and at one with nature sitting on the hammock out the back! Could not recommend higher!

Experiences of a new Shepherd!

Hosts Anna and Steve made me very welcome. Shepherds Hut comfortable and would be cosy in colder weather with wood burning stove. I had good weather which helps any holiday. Showering and toilet were an adventure! Good cooking facilities in the Sun Lounge. Birds in and around the location were wonderful which suited me. Had a fire outside the hut one evening. The Fiddlers Green location is stunning and proximity to Loch Fleet and Dornoch Firth.

Anna and Steve offer an experience, call it what you will, back to nature, living sustainably etc. Compost toilets are fine with me. Not sure how brave I would be cold showering in the vegetable garden in bad weather!

We thoroughly enjoyed the enlightening experience at your beautiful Shepherds Hut.

Fantastic to stay at a property that was so ‘green’. All very natural and pure, bathing in the rainwater shower was a great experience. Thank you Anna for making us welcome and sharing your passion for sustainable living.

Extraordinary stay

Anna renovated the hut very beautifully, it´s so cozy and comfy! The oven was set up with a fire to be enlightened , when we arrived, even a welcome drink and cookies were there! The composting toilet hut was so cool, but a bit scary , when you needed to walk to it during the night. But for the little business a chamber pot was there! The oven worked very well, once we got the right airflow to it. In fact so good, that we needed a window open a night . The hut is set in the garden of Anna and Steven, but you can barely see the house. You get more of a feeling, that the hut is set somewhere very lonesome. The birds haveing a snack in front of your window was so cute to watch. The garden is like a magical place. The outdoor shower was a bit to chilly that day, the kitchen room had everthing you needed. It was an extraordinary stay, going back to the roots and be aware, how much or less you live sustainably. Thanks for the reminder, that all you need in live is less than you might think and we all need to reduce our waste drastically.

The mattress was way to soft for us.

An all round wonderful stay! Will definitely be returning in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at Birkenshaw Shepherds Hut! The location was perfect for us as it was along our NC500 route. The facilities were great and the Shepherds Hut was fantastic! We especially loved the log fire. Anna and Steve couldn’t be more welcoming as hosts. We were only staying for one night but they gave us lots of useful information and recommendations. The project that they’ve created is amazing and we can’t wait to see them progress with it! Thank you both for a lovely stay.

good for the heart and sole

it’s a beautiful off grid sustainable hut that refreshes your sole. All the little touches made our stay memorable. Having the fire lit, local gin and a homemade treat was wonderful to walk into.

Anna and Steve were so helpful and have put so much thought into this place. Fantastic location for walking. Loved all the decoration. Best of all the sustainability - loved the compost toilet and outside shower. So refreshing after a walk in the sun.

Perfect escape from everyone and everything

Absolutely loved our stay at Birkenshaw. Such a peaceful spot with a very warm welcome. We wanted to get away from everyone and everything and this was perfect. We cooked our meal on the open fire outside and snuggled in the hut to sleep watching the woodburner (so toasty we had to leave door open). So many great features and such attention to detail - everything you needed was there.
